A new application of quantum field theory is developed that gives a description of the internal dynamics of dressed elementary particles and predicts their masses. The fermionic and bosonic quantum fields are treated as ...

We consider the solution of the Einstein equations for a universe with a positive cosmological constant (or equivalently possessing a finite uniform vacuum/dark energy density) within a conformal metric, rather than the ...

The author discusses a new theory of the universe in which the vacuum energy is classical origin and dominates the energy content of the universe. As usual, the Einstein equations determine the metric of the universe. ...

The conference presented, several methods and trend analysis applied to the South African elections. The conference had discussions on trend mix; properties of the resulting trend mix; elimination of negative elements; it ...

A variety of concrete armour units laid on top of rubble mounds are used to protect breakwaters and other harbour infrastructure. Coastal engineers build three-dimensional physical scale models to understand the dynamic ...

Complexity science is often seen as the science of emerging non-linear phenomena. In this paper the authors discuss some emerging aspects of non-linear solutions in physics. These solutions owe their elegance and simplicity ...

In this paper the author discusses a quantitative theory of trend analysis. Often trends are based on qualitative considerations and subjective assumptions. In the current approach the author makes use of extensive data ...

Optimization of road pavement design, especially towards the surface of the pavement, requires a more rational approach to modeling of truck tire-road contact stresses. Various road surfacing failures are given in this ...

The potential application of MRS technology in locating water bearing fractures in underground mines is studied. The determination of the presence of water ahead of mining is important to prevent accidents and to ensure ...

The response of proposed breakwater packing strategies to incident waves is usually tested and evaluated in a model hall. There is currently also increasing interest in using numerical simulations to model both the packing ...
